Curb pumps for dispensing gas oline brought out the livliest argu ment of the meeting. Since the planning and zoninz commission had- recently announced their: in- Ilcntion, ikt i abolishing . all curb pumps, in the near future, it was held that it would be unfair to grant permission for more pumps and thus, allow -the owner to as that he could keep the pump along the eurb. f -. j - Capitol -Motor company had ap pJiedto the council for permission to install two pumps at 370 north HigJi street, and the matter had been referred to the zoning com-H mission. They, reported back that! since- another application submit ted on the same day had been granted they would recommend that the Capitol Motors be not dis criminated against. Their inten-J tion to ao ;away- with all curb pumps by some means in the next year or two . was announced, and the permittee was so advised. j An effort made to lay the . zon-f ing commissions ' report on the! table was voted down. j ' Two more applications for Curb pumps were read at this meeting and t referred, to the commission.'
